Chinese inkstone with delicate and elegant carving of a flying dragon. This item was collected privately and stored for a long time. I believe this is a natural Duanxi stone, carved and polished, and obtained from a Chinese vendor. I would appreciate it if you could judge from the photos. Inkstone size: Approximately 17.9cm x 10.4cm (center) x 1.7cm *Measured by an amateur ^ ^ Inkstone weight: 571g Wooden box size: Length 20.0cm Width 12.7cm Thickness 4.0cm Weight with wooden box: 988g This is a beautiful inkstone with a carving of a dragon advancing through the clouds. It is housed in a wooden box, and is an item with taste and dignity. I cannot determine whether it is unused or used, but it is a very clean inkstone in good condition. There are no major or minor damages to the inkstone itself, but please note that the wooden box has numerous scratches. This is a personal, long-term storage item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. I would be happy to pass it on to someone who will use it or appreciate it. #CalligraphySupplies #ArtMaterials #InkWashPainting #JapanesePainting #HaikuPainting
